A compilation of quotations on a variety of issues by national, state and regional writers, well-known personalities, just plain everyday people and from various publications collected by the editors of THE ADVANCE.

Quotes for our Times:

Tim Graham, executive editor of News-Busters and director of media analysis for the Media Research Center: The Hollywood left shamelessly lies for 'the first amendment'.

It's almost boring at this point to hear leftists trash any attempt at enforcing our immigration laws as murderous masked militias shooting citizens. In their ongoing caricature, every ICE agent is smeared as a murderer, and every illegal alien is wonderful, possibly a valedictorian who's about to cure cancer.

Kurt Schlichter, Senior Columnist at Townhall: Only jealous pinko losers begrudge Elon Musk his well-deserved success.

We should be celebrating Elon Musk. He’s a hero. Many of our retirement accounts are considerably larger because of his genius. Tens of thousands are employed because of him. Our lives are significantly better because of his products and services. Just the other day, I was on an airplane with fast, efficient Wi-Fi thanks to Starlink. He’s a miracle worker. And he’s going to get us to Mars. Socialists? All they will get us to is Skid Row in Los Angeles, where we will find a figurative hobo relieving himself on the sidewalk forever.

Derek Hunter, Washington, DC, based writer, radio host and political strategist: California’s insane ‘Prove You’re Gay’ law.

Are you gay enough for California? Can you prove it?

Did you ever think you’d live in a time when a state required people to prove they’re gay? Or a state would set aside $633 million for gay-owned businesses that would require people to prove they’re gay to prevent fraud?

You’re probably disinterested, as you likely don’t live in California. But stupid spreads like a cold on a plane, and Democrats are incredibly stupid. What starts in one liberal state never stays there, as other states seek not to be seen as “less progressive” than their fellow traveler morons in another – certain states seek to be first, but all liberal states scramble to avoid being last.

Kevin McCullough, nationally syndicated radio personality: These people are nuts!

Three smart people. Three influential people. Three people convinced Trump has lost his mind. Maybe.

But after listening to all three of them, I'm pretty sure they're looking in the wrong direction.

Because from where I sit, the people who seem to have lost their minds are the ones attacking Trump for using the leverage they spent years demanding America create.

Hanna Panreck, an associate editor at Fox News: JD Vance wins grudging praise from Joy Behar on 'The View,' who tells him to run for president.

Behar, who regularly criticizes the Trump administration and Republicans on the show, also told Vance he was 'fine' during a commercial break on the show on Tuesday.

Vance brought it up upon returning from commercial and said, 'Joy said when we were off air that I’m 'fine,' which I think is about the best endorsement I’m gonna get out of Joy Behar.'

Behar responded, 'For a Republican.'
